Gladstone on the Qucen's Reign.

tBy Anglo-American cable totne Dlspatcn-J
LONDON, August 30.-Mr. Gladstone,
speaking at Hawarden to-day on the
Retrospect of the Queens Reign, "
said that the leading change during
the reign was the system of representa-
tive Parliament, elected by the direct
influence of the people, ruling the
country. Many soyereigns consented
to laws because they could not help
themselves. From individual personal
experience he knew that Queen Victo-
ria had given willing, hearty, and ac-
tive consent to all beneficial changes
and had made herself the prime bene-
factor of the country.

sian army, and an eyewitness of all the
scenes which he SO fearfully and wonder
fully describes. He depicts in lurid colors
the horrors of war! while he extols the
bravery and patriotism of the Russian SOL
der. Tolstoi brings home to our souls the
most intense realities of life, so much more
stupendous than any fiction He shows us
all classes and conditions of people as they
are, and tragedy, and comedy, and folly, and
weakness and stupidity jostle each other,
and each phase carries with it tremendous
moral. As Mr.. Howells so forcibly says of
Tolstoi, ''you feel instantly that the man is
mighty, and mighty through his conscience
that he is not trying to surprise or dazzle
you with his art, but that he is trying to
make you think clearly and feel rightly
about vital things with which art has often
dealt with diabolical indifference or diaboli-
cal malevolence." New York: Harper &

itself very serious calamity to the city, and
one which in the present depressed condi
